A restaurant like that should have standards and a good manager and management if they want customers to return! VERY...

We ordered a few items off the menu to share: Gnocchi Pecorino (3/5) Spaghetti al Pomodoro (4/5) Pizza Vegetarian (4/5) Pizza Quattro Formaggi (5/5)

Service was a bit slow, and all items arrived at the same time, although we were sharing them so some plates got cold while we ate the others. Our waiter Bashir was more than helpful and friendly - make sure you sit in his section.

Prices are above average for some platters (depending on...
